Sinn Féin Ard Fheis week before EU Austerity Treaty vote

The Ard Fheis takes place at the INEC in Killarney on Friday and Saturday, 25 and 26 May.

ALL Sinn Féin members and supporters are
being urged to help make the Sinn Féin Ard Fheis in Killarney, County Kerry,
just days ahead of the vote on the EU Fiscal Austerity Treaty, one of the
biggest political rallies of the year at a critical time in Ireland’s history.

The Ard Fheis takes place at the INEC in
Killarney on Friday and Saturday, 25 and 26 May.

More than 150 motions are on the clár on a
host of issues including the all-Ireland agenda for change, austerity, Sinn
Féin in the Assembly and the Dáil, local government, fighting the Tory cuts and
securing financial powers for the Assembly, the EU, resisting the Household
Charge and water taxes, the Middle East, the Basque Country and Catalonia.

Gerry Adams’s Presidential Address will be
televised live by RTÉ at 5:30pm on Saturday evening.

To help make the trip easier for comrades,
special travel arrangements at affordable prices are being laid on through
local constituency offices.

Urging people to make every effort to get
to the Ard Fheis, Gerry Adams said these are important times for all-Ireland
politics. He is looking forward to what is shaping up to be a “vibrant and
energetic Ard Fheis.”

“The Sinn Féin Ard Fheis will this year
come to Munster for the first time since the foundation of the party.

“Party members will discuss such issues as the Uniting
Ireland project, the economy, North and South, and, of course, the Austerity
Treaty referendum.

“We are looking forward to what is shaping
up to be a vibrant and energetic Ard Fheis in the beautiful surroundings of
Killarney.
